DSL versus Cable ISP's

Actually, you need to "buy a router and don't install their software at all."  ;)

Absolutely. I picked up a cheap Billion brand 7100S router when I got DSL. Has no connectors other than an RJ12 port for the phone and an Ethernet port for the computer. Does DHCP for me, and is configurable through a web interface. No drivers, and a far better solution when you are wanting to share a connection between computers or get a Linux server running.
